Rockstar Vultures - The Feathered Daredevils of Spain!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness the awe-inspiring landing skills of the Griffon Vultures. These magnificent birds, known for their scavenging prowess and soaring flight, have found their perfect stage amidst the rocky landscapes of Spain. With a wide range of habitats at their disposal - from mountains to plateaus, steppe to semi-desert - these vultures are true masters of adaptation. Their choice nesting spots? None other than the abrupt rocky areas like crags and canyons that provide both shelter and roosting opportunities. But it's in flight where they truly shine! Gliding effortlessly through the air requires updraughts associated with slopes and cliffs or thermals. Soaring high above ground level, these winged acrobats rely on dry sunny areas to catch those elusive thermal currents. And let's not forget about their peculiar taste buds! Carrion is their preferred delicacy, making them nature's ultimate clean-up crew. However, they're not completely self-sufficient; these vultures depend on livestock presence for a steady supply of food. Whether you spot them individually or as part of a majestic group in Europe's skies, one thing is certain – these Griffon Vultures are anything but ordinary. With sedentary tendencies mixed with partial migration patterns, they bring life (and death) into balance wherever they go! So next time you
